Since Du Gongbu said that he had a hundred thousand chunks of money and rode a crane to Yangzhou, Yangzhou has become one of the most longed for by literati and poets of all dynasties in thousands of years.
The beauty of Yangzhou is not only among its ink-like landscape gardens, but also in its humanities.
It lies in the unrestrained elegance of talented men and celebrities, and in the passionate talents of stunning courtesans.
In addition, the pear industry in Gusu and Yangzhou is also very prosperous.
In the previous life, the twelve small officials and opera teachers in the Grand View Garden of the Red Mansion were bought back by Jia Qiang and Jia Rong in Gusu.
In Jiangnan, the opera troupe in Yangzhou is not inferior to that in Gusu.
Among the many opera stage teams in Yangzhou Prefecture, the Bai family’s Sixi Tower can be regarded as the best-made theater.
Generally speaking, the opera troupe never stays in one place to perform, but maintains a certain degree of mobility.
Because a good opera troupe must be recognized by a large majority of people in order to truly gain fame.
After the name is established, anyone who wants to listen to the meeting will go to invite it specifically.
This custom has been around since ancient times, and this is the case with the scattered music recorded in the "Li of Zhou".
But in this generation, Yangzhou salt merchants were too rich and did not need a troupe to eat a hundred families to make a living, so they simply raised them.
In order to cultivate well and to make a name for themselves, a theater was opened to the public.
Even ordinary people can go into the building to listen to it for ten or twenty cents.
Among them, the Bai family's Sixi Class is the most famous, and in the whole Jiangnan, only the Sanqing Class of Zhen's family is comparable.
Although the Bai family is rich, it is far inferior to the Zhen family, known as the first family in Jiangnan.
Not to mention the actors from Jiangnan, the head of the Zhen family, Zhen Yingjia, didn't even call Master Zhen, but just called Zhen Fo.
Because they only have something to ask for, Zhen Yingjia basically responds to everything he wants.
How could this be compared to a salt merchant in the Bai family?
But even so, the Bai family's four-happy team can still rank second in Jiangnan.
In addition to the wealth of the Bai family, this also shows another deep meaning:
The foundation of the Bai family is by no means as simple as a merchant.
but……
So what?
Brother De'ang, please!
Haha, please, good minister!
Zhongluan, please!
Mr. Qiang, please come!
In front of the Sixi Tower Archway, Jia Qiang gave in and out, laughed, walked forward with no choice, and walked towards the main entrance of the theater.
The welcoming guest only saw Jia Qiang's style and knew that he must be a rich man.
Looking back, the cold sweat came down. They didn’t know Jia Qiang, could they still know Qi Yun and Xu Zhen?
Even these two people are one step behind, and the identity of the leading person...
Thinking about the recent rumor of the Pearl Pavilion incident in Yangzhou City, it is actually not difficult to guess.
Oh, Mr. Jia, Mr. Qi, and Mr. Xu, please come in!
Jia Qiang raised his eyebrows lightly when he heard this, Qi Yun smiled, and Xu Zhen threw out a piece of silver and scolded: You are so obedient...
He said to Jia Qiang and Qi Yun again: We are wrong. We should change to a ragged beggar's uniform, so we can save trouble.
The young man smiled and was confused, and he couldn't understand the meaning.
Jia Qiang looked at him and then said to Xu Zhen: Then you can just change your clothes now.
Xu Zhen laughed and asked the guy a little bit: Is your young master Bai Ziqing here tonight?
The young man hurriedly replied: You are here, Jin Yu, the famous actor in our fourth wedding class, will perform on stage tonight. Every time he goes on stage, our uncle will definitely support you!
Xu Zhen smiled at Jia Qiang and said: Do you guess this Jin Yu is a man or a woman?
Jia Qiang glanced at him, Xu Zhen laughed, and the three of them were led into the building by the young man and sat down at a elegant seat not far from the stage on the first floor.
Bai Ziqing, I haven't seen anyone.
After sitting down, Xu Zhen looked around on the elegant seat where the fruit and tea trays were arranged on the left and right, and asked with a smile.
It was no longer the guy who served him, but Zhao Bo, the senior brother of the Sixi team.
Zhao Bo smiled and said with apologizing: Uncle Bai is in the backstage, accompanying Miss Jin.
Xu Zhen laughed and scolded: Bastard girl!It's also a guy!
you……
The senior brother of the Fourth Xi Class turned red when he heard this. He was also a female actor. In every move, he raised his fingers and wanted to scold Xu Zhen, but when he saw Xu Zhen's smile, he seemed to be waiting for him to speak. The senior brother of the Fourth Xi Class was an old world, and he saw that something was wrong, so he held back and said with a forced smile: Second Master is also a member of our Fourth Xi team. At least he hurts us a lot, so don't bully him.
Jia Qiang took the initiative to move the chair away from Xu Zhen's side, and his disgust was self-evident.
Xu Zhen cursed angrily: Stop farting!My grandfather is watching the show, but he is not like the Bai family, playing with rabbits in the bed!
As soon as this statement came out, Qi Yun was a little shocked, let alone Jia Qiang looked at him sideways.
He didn't expect that Xu Zhen would work so hard and the Xu family would be so willing to do so.
No wonder Jia Qiang looked at Xu Zhen with admiration...
Then he heard a loud shout not far away: Xu Zhongluan, what are you, Hu?If you don’t want to watch the show, get out!
Jia Qiang and the other two turned around and saw Bai Ziqing, who was behind the Bai family, came out from the stage and came here.
However, after scolding Xu Zhen, he quickly changed his face and bowed and smiled: Brother De'ang, Mr. Jia, why don’t you say hello to me when I come to the Sixi Tower to listen to the opera?If I had said it earlier, I would not accept foreign guests tonight. Qinglou will entertain you two distinguished guests.
Qi Yun smiled and said: You Xue, why are you polite?There is nothing wrong today, because Liangchen thinks of a drama troupe, so let’s take a look at you.
Bai Ziqing's eyes twitched and laughed: Mr. Jia also remembered the opera troupe?Why bother with this? If the Salt Court wants to listen to the opera, just send someone to speak.
Jia Qiang smiled and said with a smile: Am I a relative of the Censor of the Salt Courtyard Yamen who came from the capital?Have such decency?
These words were originally written by Bai Ziqing when he was standing on the stage for the Feng family in Meiyuan that day, and he ridiculed Jia Qiang's words.
At that time, the outside world always believed that Lin Ruhai was on the verge of death, and even if he was saved, he would be half dead.
More importantly, Yangzhou Prefecture already knew that the Salt Courtyard would be cut off and the power was left to the Liangjiang Governor's Office.
Lin Ruhai's weight has been greatly reduced, let alone a distant relative of him?
So Bai Ziqing didn't take Jia Qiang seriously that day.
But who could have thought that although Lin Ruhai was still ill in bed, he was generally fine. Moreover, he had been in contact with the new governor of Liangjiang for a long time and had been in contact with the letters for many years?
Not only did Han Bin not rush to seize power, he entrusted the salt affairs to Lin Ruhai, and the seal of the Salt Court was still in the hands of Lin Ruhai.
Two new policy masters knocked down the Mei family and Feng family in the dust and never turned over.
Under this kind of tyranny, even the Qi family, the leader of the eight major salt merchants, knelt down, and met Jia Qiang, and even gave it to a small island without hesitation to pay for it to please the Salt Courtyard, let alone the Bai family?
Bai Ziqing was slapped in the face in person, but she smiled sincerely on her face and said: It was indeed a bad mistake that day, and she helped the Feng family before she knew the right and wrong.At that time, I was just thinking about the love of my hometown... I was really ashamed, ashamed.
Jia Qiang looked at him with a playful look, nodded and said: It doesn’t matter, I am also a secular person who helps my relatives and doesn’t care. How could he blame you?
After hearing this, Bai Ziqing smiled and thanked her, she sat down in Ya behind the three-person seat, which could be considered as accusing herself of being humble.
But looking at Jia Qiang's gaze and the smiles of Qi Yun and Xu Zhen, he always felt something was wrong, and his back was chilly...
At this moment, the sound of a gong suddenly sounded on the stage, and the drumsticks hit the surface, as if from far to near, sounds coming into my ears.
With this one move, the audience's attention was attracted, and loud shouts came one after another.
In this era without electricity, no Internet, and no mobile TV, watching dramas is definitely an entertainment activity that the whole society is crazy about, and it is also the most popular entertainment activity, no doubt about it.
From officials, nobles, princes and nobles, to peddlers, even beggars, they are all obsessed with opera.
As a famous theater in Jiangnan, Sixi Tower is now a famous actor, and is now a famous actor. Therefore, those who can watch the show today are all well-known people in Yangzhou Prefecture and at least they are wealthy families.
At first, they might have focused on Jia Qiang and his group at the forefront, but as the sound of the gongs moved their attention to the stage one after another.
The exchanges or confrontations between powerful and noble sons such as Jia Qiang is too far away for them.
The situation at the moment is stable and there will be no major moves.
It is rumored that the Bai family seemed to have offended the relative of the Salt Court, but now they are all here to watch the show, which means that the holiday is over.
Then the others are not good at watching, right?
The clear silk blows into the courtyard, swaying spring like a thread.Stop for a while and prepare the flowers.
I didn't hold the diamond flower, and I stole half of the face, and the colorful clouds were scattered.
The actor appeared, with only two sentences at the beginning, and the cheers in the entire theater instantly burst into pieces, as if they were about to lift the top of the Four Happiness Tower.
Jia Qiang couldn't understand it and couldn't appreciate it. He was so angry that his brain hurt and frowned.
Tonight, everyone was listening to the opera, but Bai Ziqing, who was restless, kept observing Jia Qiang, Qi Yun and Xu Zhen.
Qi Yun, the most intelligent and recognizable young man in Yangzhou Prefecture, although he was jealous, he had to accept it.
Moreover, the power of Qi's family in Yangzhou Prefecture is beyond the reach of the ten Bai families.
As for Xu Zhen...
A slutty and a slut, who is an alternative in the Xu family. I don’t know if the head of the Xu family is confused. He prefers this playboy and idiot, and brother Xu Zhen has long been dissatisfied.
However, the two of them seem to be fascinated by the scenes on the stage and watch them carefully.
However, this boy from the capital didn't even listen to Jin Yu's plays. It turned out that he was from the north...
Mr. Qiang Er, is this drama difficult to catch Master Qiang Er’s eyes?Yes, I heard that before coming to Yangzhou Prefecture, Mr. Qiang and Mr. Lian visited the Zhen family together. The Zhen family’s third-celebration team is indeed the same as the fourth-happy team of my family.Liu Zimo from the Sanqing Class is better than Jin Yu.However, if Mr. Qiang Er is willing, the Bai family can give him a opera troupe. They are all young daughters in their teens, and it is very suitable for their relatives in the back house to watch.
Bai Ziqing whispered behind Jia Qiang, with the tone of bowing his head to apologize.
It seems that these wealthy children who were vigorously trained by the family are not all incompetent and furious waste.
At least, in terms of human feelings, they know when to bow their heads, when to be generous, and when to turn enemies into friends.
But, it's a pity...
Before Jia Qiang could speak, Xu Zhen next to him suddenly sang on the stage:
It turns out that the colorful purples and reds bloom all over, as if they were all given to the broken well and the dilapidated walls.
Good ministers and beautiful scenery do not matter to the sky, and who will enjoy the pleasure of the yard!
At this point, Xu Zhen suddenly turned around and sang to Bai Zi: Such a scene, my grandma and I won’t mention it again~~
These tampered words and frivolous actions made Bai Ziqing furious.
Forget it, Qi Yun can’t afford to offend him!
It’s okay if Jia Qiang can’t afford to offend him!
But the second son of the Xu family dares to be sarcastic to him. Isn’t this seeking death?!
However, before he could get angry, suddenly, he heard a cry from the backstage. Bai Ziqing's heart sank. As soon as he stood up, a figure flew over the curtain with a bang, fell heavily on the stage, and smashed several drums and gongs.
The drama suddenly stopped, and there was a chaos!
……
The beauty of Yangzhou is not only among its ink-like landscape gardens, but also in its humanities.
